The blind dude in Rogue One. I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.

He was pretty sweet.

Where's peenie when we actually need her?

This is exactly it. Go read the economy thread and the same attitude is there as well. As long as it's not them, then those of us experiencing it on the daily must be lying...or we are buying too many lattes and need to look at our personal finances. If they are fine with higher prices, they still have homeowners insurance, can afford the 22% increase in car insurance rate hikes, and aren't losing their jobs any time soon, they deem everything "fine." And the stock market being above 40K means everything is cool. And Tim is cool with illegals because he hires them. He'd rather them be here legally, but hiring them is cheaper than hiring a citizen because then he'd have to abide by CA labor laws - which are incredibly strict, BTW. He can do all kinds of shiite under the table with his "workers" and get away with it...but hiring that mid-40s woman that's struggling to get food on the table for an honest $25/hour is just to $$$ for CEO Tim.

I think they ask you in CA if you want to register at the time you get your license as well. I believe they can vote I some local elections.

No. They don't want illegals to vote. They don't want them to come here and take our jobs, our resources, our health care or anything else like that. They aren't usually involved in any kind of criminal activity and if they are it's usually due to a misunderstanding, or whitey is just framing them, or they are just doing what they need to do to get by, ya know? So, why do they want them here? Why do they just kind of let them cross the boarder with out any kind of documentation, set their court dates out months away and not have any kind of follow up after? Any one have a reason? I am willing to hear it and chat about it.

They weren't making a run for that border?

Oh good, it's all fixed now and people can start buying houses and paying their bills. No one else is living pay check to pay check. We are saved.

you can check out anytime you'd like, but you can never leave.

Well, with that said, I am glad you picked Kelly. She'd be my pick too. Markle is waaaaay too much into herself, much more than Kelly. And I agree with jerry that Kelly seems much more likely to get her kink on. Markle seems like she'd be too "EW" about things.

I think this is incredibly true. I remember my dad coming home from work talking about a man in his office (this would be early/mid 80s) who had a pair of high heels at his desk. He'd change shoes at work, walk around in the high heels, then walk home in the mens dress shoes. Like it was no big deal. I didn't think it was a big deal either, I would have been between 7 and 10 years old maybe? Same as in high school. Homosexual kids, we knew but we didn't talk about it, didn't really care. They were our friends, they were cool. If they were a$$ holes, then that's why we weren't friends with them, had nothing to do with who they were attracted to. But yes, now that they are a minority/marginalized group that is seeking equality in ALL things...they are the new weapon.

So the part about the transperson I know personally, (female to male) isn't about the actual transitioning part of it. I knew this person as a female and knew them as they transitioned to male, through their top surgery, hormones, etc. I don't find the "ooh gross" factor about much of it. I've taken time to research the surgical process, what they do to make certain parts, removal of breasts, etc. It doesn't bother me to watch stuff like this, read about it or whatever. I find that not enough people do it, honestly. The complications that come from bottom surgeries is very sad, especially when going from male to female and the 'creation' of a vagina and what the individual has to go through for the rest of their lives (sometimes involving things that are incredibly painful) The part that makes me feel weird, is the mental piece of it. This person had. a lot of mental health issues prior to transitioning. A LOT. Several medications. They were in therapy for years, lots of things to work through and finally thought that maybe they were born in the wrong body and decided to transition. Now, into the transition, taking testosterone, became a different person; physically aggressive, just not very nice. Those are the pieces of transsexuals that make me uncomfortable. The mental health side of things that people don't seem to address. Like you mentioned, it's the "Ew gross" factor that a lot of people SEE on the outside. I don't mind if I see them in public, I honestly don't 'give them a second glance and move on with my day. I am more nervous about what's going on underneath and in the brain that makes me uncomfortable; especially since we are SO quick to give these people hormones without trying to address what's going on in the brain (and I don't mean conversion therapy, just talking about general mental health help along with transitioning).

They need to make sure they pump a bunch of meth into Biden before hand like they did before the SoU address. I can't wait for him to go off script and say, "PAUSE" during answering...better yet, if he calls out, "LINE" during the debate. That would be wonderful.

It will be gone in 10 years

Why do they make you uncomfortable? I know one personally, I am curious why. I'll share why the one I know makes me feel a little weird. I wish it were this simple, I really do.

Just yesterday I read online about three businesses near me closing; all small non-chain types. One restaurant and two small specific type retail stores, one clothing store, one running store. Very sad, really. They've all been business a long time and seemed like they were doing well.

Welp, there goes the chance for Jerry and I to ever hook up again.

Also. So, what do Trump voters think of this asks Tim? Meh. What do Biden voters think of this? Knowing that he's just keeping all of this intact...aren't you guys supposed to hate everything that OMB did? And the increases are this year while Biden is in office. So....yeah. Not sure this is the hill you wanna die on Timmay. Biden, whose administration has reviewed the tariff rates over the past year, is keeping intact more than $300 billion in tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump. The tariff increases include: Electric vehicles from China: from 25% to 100% beginning this year. Semiconductors from China: from 25% to 50% by 2025. Lithium-ion batteries from China used in electric vehicles: from 7.5% to 25% this year. Solar cells imported from China: from 25% to 50% this year. Steel and aluminum products: from zero-7.5% to 25% this year. Ship-to-shore container cranes imported from China: from zero to 25% this year Hospital syringes and needles made in China: from zero to 50% this year.

Isn't Biden doing something similar: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/05/14/biden-raises-tariffs-china-electric-cars-solar/73675733007/ WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden is hiking tariffs on electric vehicles, semiconductors and several other goods imported from China, escalating a trade war between the two world's largest economies as the administration accuses Chinese competitors of unfair practices in industries the U.S. is trying to grow. The moves, which come amid rising tensions between the U.S. and China, are designed to protect American industries in clean energy that the administration has targeted with major investments to try to catch up with China. Other goods from China that will face higher tariffs include solar cells, batteries, battery materials, cranes used at ports, and certain medical supplies, as well as steel and aluminum.

Yes, but if a relative does not receive the care you think they should have, you can sue. You think that if the govt is in charge you are going to be able to sue them because grandma died when they decided that she didn't need that extra round of chemo? Good luck with that. Seriously. Read up more on the NHS in Canda and Europe and how successful people are when they go after it when someone doesn't get the care they needed. It's incredibly sad. Or, just look at the VA. That's govt health care in our own country. Illegals get better healthcare than our own veterans, I just ask my dad. He purposely used his healthcare from his state job vs the VA because he saw what it was like when he was in the service. Anyways, I realize I am talking to deaf ears. You people truly believe in your hearts that the govt is here to "help" people. All the govt does is spend.

I am glad that it hasn't been a problem. You are so focking exhausting. I never said it was an existential threat, and no one else did either. JFC.

Curious if your stance on any of this will change if one of those women that you told to "STFU" is sexually assaulted or harassed by said trans woman while in this locker room? Not even that, if the trans woman finds it necessary to walk around naked showing their p3nis to everyone all the time. You'd find this okay? Or the biological females should just continue to STFU even if it makes them uncomfortable?

You realize that when the govt/taxes takes over healthcare then they are the ones who decide what/when you get treatment for things, right? They decide to approve you for things like x-rays, dialysis and chemo. They truly decide if someone is actually worth the treatments available, someone is worth saving. Are you willing to know that "allocating funding" means letting someone's mother die?
